Very happy that our review article (with the @annualreviews.bsky.social) on „Austerity and Populism“ is now available as preprint: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... - with @sattlersthomas.bsky.social
Austerity and Populism
A large literature explains the rise of populist parties with the economic insecurities stemming from globalization and technological change. But despite the long-standing focus of the comparative and...

(1/...) Unpleasant experience with Gemini pro.

1) I found two non-existing references in a preprint. Likely LLM hallucination. I'm angry.

2) I upload the preprint on Gemini PRO, explain my suspicions and ask it to double check ALL the references...

A new preprint reports that in nearly one third of studies on social media appearing in major interdisciplinary journals, the authors have ties to industry that should be disclosed but aren’t. https://scim.ag/49s7tlw
Nearly one-third of social media research has undisclosed ties to industry, preprint claims
Industry-linked studies were also more likely to focus on particular topics, suggesting these ties may be skewing the field

First preprint of the year! New work from @jimmy-ly.bsky.social revealing unexpected roles for 5' UTR length in controlling alternate translational isoforms - important implications for both physiological cell function and rare disease. Small changes -> big impacts.

Fantastic piece from @broniatowski.bsky.social about our latest preprint, an analysis of industry ties in social media research.

(Yes, I owe you all a thread on it; bear with me)
When Is a Conflict of Interest a Conflict of Interest?
What a new preprint on industry influence in social media research really forces us to confront

New Preprint!! We show that binding entropy can be quantitatively predicted from crystallographic ensemble models, accounting for both protein conformational entropy and solvent entropy! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

So excited to share the preprint with the bulk of my PhD work in the Beach @myosincity.bsky.social and Oakes @pwoakes.bsky.social Labs at Loyola University Chicago! We investigate the structure, recruitment, and function of septin networks around the nucleus. A thread:

...they'd know the paper was written by A HIGH SCHOOLER.

First result on Kagi is his LinkedIn profile. He started college THIS YEAR. Two months AFTER publishing this preprint!

And no, he doesn't have any attestable experience in computer science

He's, like, a linguistics and entrepreneurship guy

🎉 New preprint 🎉 with Olya Bulatova, @drmack.bsky.social & @keisukefukuda.bsky.social! We decode shapes in working memory from EEG and show that representations are task-dependent, flexibly integrating information about category and task during the memory delay

New preprint on technologies to scale up CRISPR screens.

We use them to map 665,856 pairwise genetic perturbations and outline a path to comprehensive interaction mapping in human cells.

We also introduce an approach for cloning lentiviral libraries with billions of elements.

Yikes! 👇

Nearly a third of social media research has undisclosed ties to industry, preprint claims www.science.org/content/arti... via @science.org

From study (preprint): "...industry influence in social media research is extensive, impactful, and often opaque."

new #preprint suggests neutron star crusts might behave in a “plate tectonic-like” way ... build up stress, snap and slip, then rearrange the surface and drag magnetic field lines.

Claims that could possibly explain pulse profile changes and spin-down variations.

hmmmm, I dunno bout this ... 🤔

Spin-down changes in PSR B0540-69 induced by a drift of the magnetic axis
The dynamics of the solid crust + magnetic field lines of pulsars is a much debated issue, and remains unsettled after 50 years. Some pieces of evidence have emerged to complete and confirm theoretica...

This preprint significantly improves the original design of SSHash to accelerate query and construction time. Looking back at one’s own work is very important and sometimes surprising ☺️
Very excited about this latest work led by @jermp.bsky.social! Since it's initial release, SSHash has served as the basis for several other tools (Fulgor, piscem, etc.). It was already very fast. It is now *substantially* faster!
